Why Limit Yourself to One Fleet? Compare School Event Transportation From a Network of Bus Companies
Look no further for an easier way to find field trip buses in Eden Prairie! Busrentaledenprairie.com is not a local bus company — and that is exactly what makes it so valuable. Because we don't own any vehicles, you are never limited to a single fleet or whatever one company happens to have parked in its lot. Instead, Busrentaledenprairie.com brings together a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Eden Prairie and the surrounding area, so you can compare more bus types, more amenity packages, and more price points than any one operator could offer.
From compact 15–35 passenger minibuses for smaller classes to 56-passenger charter buses for a full grade level, the right bus for your field trip is right here. Call 612-453-3875 or use the online quote tool to compare in seconds!
See Different Buses, Pictures, and Packages for Your School Event Transportation
You can count on finding a bus that fits your group, your headcount, and your destination when you search through Busrentaledenprairie.com! Smaller classes and split groups love the 15–35 passenger minibus — nimble enough to navigate urban drop-off lanes near the Minneapolis Institute of Art (2400 3rd Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55404) and comfortable enough for the ride out I-494. Larger groups traveling together to the Science Museum of Minnesota (120 W Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55102) or Minnesota Zoo (13000 Zoo Blvd, Apple Valley, MN 55124) will love the full-size 56-passenger motorcoach, with overhead storage for backpacks and lunchboxes, climate control, and reclining seats.
ADA-accessible buses are available through the network too — just mention it when you request your quote!

Charter Buses to the Minnesota Zoo Make Your Apple Valley Field Trip Easy
When your class is heading to the Minnesota Zoo, a charter bus keeps every student together from the school parking lot to the zoo's front gate and back again — no carpool coordination, no straggling vehicles, no waiting on parents who hit traffic on I-494. The zoo sits approximately 20 minutes southeast of Eden Prairie, and buses use the designated bus parking area off Zoo Boulevard near the main entrance. Spring school trips need the calendar handled early: the Minnesota Zoo requires field-trip registration at least two weeks ahead, and school-group parking is $15 per bus; the full details are on the Minnesota Zoo field-trip page.
Your bus keeps the $15 venue parking cost separate from the transportation quote, so the school knows exactly what the destination adds. With a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach, every student and chaperone rides together with overhead storage for backpacks and lunches. Compare available buses and pricing through Busrentaledenprairie.com in under 30 seconds, or call 612-453-3875 to get your trip sorted today!
Make Your Science Museum of Minnesota Field Trip Seamless With a Charter Bus
Make your class's trip to the Science Museum of Minnesota the highlight of the school year, not a logistical headache! The museum sits approximately 35 minutes from Eden Prairie via I-494 East and I-94 East, and from September through May, school groups enter at the Education entrance at Eagle and Chestnut streets. Your bus returns to the area where it dropped you when your reserved field trip time ends, instead of circling downtown while your class finishes; the details are on the Science Museum of Minnesota parking and directions page.
With IMAX films, hands-on exhibits, and curriculum-aligned school programs, it's one of the most popular field trip destinations in the state — which means spring dates fill fast. A charter bus keeps your whole class together on the drive across the metro, with room for every backpack in the overhead bins. Compare buses and pricing in seconds at Busrentaledenprairie.com, or call 612-453-3875 to lock in your spring date early!
Whether You're Headed to Historic Fort Snelling or the Minnesota History Center, Find Your Bus Here
Whether your curriculum calls for a living history experience at Historic Fort Snelling (200 Tower Ave, St. Paul, MN 55111) or an afternoon exploring Minnesota's past at the Minnesota History Center (345 W Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55102), Busrentaledenprairie.com makes finding the right bus simple. Both destinations sit roughly 15–40 minutes from Eden Prairie depending on your route, and both offer school programs designed to bring classroom learning to life. Fort Snelling provides bus parking in the fort's own lot, while the History Center has bus drop-off along Kellogg Boulevard.
School-year Fort Snelling visits use the Welcome Plaza for bus drop-off, summer visits use the Visitor Center, and the Welcome Plaza is about one-third of a mile from the Historic Fort; the route is spelled out in the Historic Fort Snelling field-trip directions. Your bus leaves the class at the correct arrival point while everyone follows the defined walk into the site. Compare minibuses and charter buses from a network of providers serving the Twin Cities metro — enter your trip details once and see your options in seconds!
Get Your Class to Valleyfair or the Landscape Arboretum With a Bus Rental
Get your end-of-year field trip locked in before the calendar fills! Valleyfair Amusement Park (1 Valleyfair Dr, Shakopee, MN 55379) is one of the most popular late-spring field trip destinations in the Eden Prairie area — just 15–20 minutes south on US-169 — with designated bus parking and drop-off at the main gate. Bus and motorcoach parking at Valleyfair is free, so the venue does not add a bus-parking rate to your transportation costs; the policy appears on Valleyfair's student and youth bus parking page.
For a more curriculum-focused outdoor experience, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum (3675 Arboretum Dr, Chaska, MN 55318) sits approximately 20 minutes west and offers school programs on horticulture and ecology with bus parking on site. Vehicle size changes the Arboretum route: passenger vans and buses 26 feet long or under may request Three-Mile Drive access at the gatehouse, while larger coaches park in designated areas; the rule is on the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum group admission page. Your bus gets the right routing from the start, whether it qualifies for Three-Mile Drive or heads straight to coach parking.
Both destinations are easy runs from Eden Prairie, and both fill up fast in May. Compare available buses through Busrentaledenprairie.com now and get your date secured before it's gone — call 612-453-3875 or use the online quote tool!
Get a Bus to the Children's Theatre Company or Minneapolis Institute of Art for Arts Field Trips
Get your students to Minneapolis's world-class arts destinations without splitting the class into a carpool scramble! The Children's Theatre Company offers school matinee programs throughout the year, with bus drop-off on 3rd Avenue South approximately 25 minutes from Eden Prairie. Right next door, the Minneapolis Institute of Art offers free general admission and curriculum-aligned school programs — making it one of the most accessible arts field trips in the metro.
Your bus unloads and picks up in the Children's Theatre Company circle drive on 3rd Avenue South; after drop-off, buses can park on 24th Street between Mia and the park, while the 25th Street lot carries a parking rate, according to Children's Theatre Company's bus parking directions. Compare your options through Busrentaledenprairie.com in seconds, or call 612-453-3875 today!

It depends on your headcount! A 15–35 passenger minibus works well for smaller classes or split groups, and it's easier to maneuver in tight urban drop-off lanes near Minneapolis and St. Paul venues. A 56-passenger motorcoach is the go-to for a full class plus chaperones, with overhead storage for backpacks and undercarriage bays for larger gear.
Enter your student and chaperone count when you request your quote and the results will show the right fits!
For most field trips, booking 4–6 weeks in advance is a solid rule. For spring field trips — especially April and May runs to the Minnesota Zoo, Science Museum of Minnesota, and Valleyfair — book as early as possible, ideally 6–8 weeks out. Late May and early June end-of-year trips to Valleyfair are among the most in-demand dates in the entire metro.
Waiting too long means fewer vehicle options and higher rates.
Yes! ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms are available through the network. Just mention your accessibility needs when you fill out the quote form or call 612-453-3875, and the results will reflect vehicles equipped for your students.
